The name Darryl has been in my family for three generations. My full name is Darryl Scott Hayes III, I was born in 2002. My father was born in 1976, and my grandfather was born in 1953. As of today I plan to name my son Darryl as well to continue the name in my family.

I knew a woman (who was probably born in the 1940s) named Darryl, spelled this way, so I think it's also a female name. It rhymes with Carol, so maybe that's why it had appeal for parents to give to girls.
